Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6657
Recently, I updated my projects to use the latest packages from TI. After doing so, my projects won't link. The linker complains that a section named .srioSharedMem won't fit in the shared memory region (known as "MSMCSRAM" to the linker).
I did a lot of digging and I found that:
- The section .srioSharedMem is 1 MB, and is directed to reside in the MSMCSRAM region.
- Several other sections are directed to reside in the MSMCSRAM region.
- The MSMCSRAM region was 2 MB in the previous version of whatever package defines it.
- The MSMCSRAM region is 1 MB in the latest version of that package.
Since the size of the sections that need to reside in MSMCSRAM is greater than 1 MB, the link fails.
I looked at the C6657 data manual to learn the size of the shared-memory region. The answer is "I don't know". In table 2-2, it says that the region begins at 0C000000 and ends at 0C1FFFFF - that's 2 MB. In the "Bytes" column, it says that the region is 1 MB. Which one is correct?
Regardless of which one is correct, I don't need 1 MB of shared memory, so the easiest fix would be to modify the amount of memory allocated for .srioSharedMem. I can't figure out where to make that happen. If someone can tell me that, I'll fix it and be on my way.
